canの役割

A consumer report has revealed that less expensive laundry detergents can be just as effective as the more expensive products.(それほど高くない洗濯洗剤にも、より高い製品とまったく同じ効果があることが、消費者レポートで明らかになりました。) この文章でcanはどういう意味で使われているのでしょうか?全然分からないので解説お願いします。

canが入っていますから「まったく同じ効果をもちうる」という意味になります。 「まったく同じ効果がある」と言い切ってはいませんので、ご質問者が引用されている和訳は若干不正確です。 ニュアンス的には「使い方によってはまったく同じ効果がある」という含みだと思います。

Less expensive laundry detergents can be effective. →それほど高価ではない洗濯洗剤が効果的であり得るーーみたいな意味です。 This medicine can be effective. この薬は効果的であり得るーーこれと同じような意味です。 ~になり得る、~であり得るーーという意味です。

    A world of craft production and barter would have little use for the quantifier’s tools, and would be impervious to them. It has been urged that accounts have less to do with representing conditions than with guiding behavior in large firms. This is undoubtedly so, though there is more than a hint here of a false dichotomy. Numbers that have no credibility as truth claims will be less effective also at projecting power and coordinating activity. 上記英文中の,It has been urged that accounts have less to do with representing conditions than with guiding behavior in large firms.をお訳し願います。

    It is hard to imagine how customers who rush after trends, or the stores that serve them, will respond to the report’s suggestions: that people lease clothes and return them at the end of a month or a season, so the garments can be lent again to someone else — like library books — and that they buy more expensive and durable clothing that can be worn for years. Perhups surprisingly , the report highlights the benefits of synthetic fabrics they require less hot water to wash and less ironing. It suggests that consumers air-dry clothes and throw away their tumble dryers, which require huge amounts of energy.

  • he can get for itですが・・・

    Some writers think about the life of books as some savages think about the life of men―that there are books which never die. They all die sooner or later ; but that will not hinder an author from trying to give his book as long a life as he can get for it. The fact that it will have to die is no good reason for letting it die sooner than can be helped. 上記の英文で、he can get for itの意味が解りません。 このforは何ですか?itの対価を示すのでしょうか? itはbookのことですね?
